There is no ‘truth’ about what is or isn’t a mental illness.,[object Object],Heroin use was normal in Victorian times, but its use today is illegal and indicates that the user has dropped out of society.,[object Object]
Interactionist perspective.Labelling,[object Object],The power of certain groups in society like doctors and psychiatrists to label less powerful groups in a negative way. ie) the mentally ill.,[object Object],Once a person is labelled as mentally ill, other people treat them differently. All they say and do is seen as a symptom of their mental illness. ie) Rosenhan’s study of pseudo-patients,[object Object]
